I saw Ferris Bueller's Day Off the other day and one of my favorite scenes is when they visit the Art Institute of Chicago. My favorite piece of art they view is A Sunday Afternoon On The Island Of La Grande Jatte. Seeing that scene reminded me of the preliminary oil study of this painting that we saw at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC. The oil study is a much smaller version of the piece in Chicago but still beautiful.
I got this idea from a friend of mine who decided to document her life one picture at a time. I often hear people say that life moves by so quickly. What better way to look back on the big and small moments that help define our life than through pictures? I look forward to looking back and seeing where life has taken me.
